Tavalin
Florida Mike (again)
Hello everybody,
I have returned and am now back to driving the X around. When the engine warms up and the dual fans kick in the engine dies at idol. I upped the idol a little bit and it still just cuts off. She sat for over three month while I was gone.
Now, when I look over at the voltage on the instrument panel the needle seems to be low. I just replaced the battery and partially rebuilt the top of the engine when I replaced the head gasket. Everything seemed fine when I drove around at that time, over four months ago.
Could it be the alternator isn’t supplying enough power? Or the new battery isn’t power enough (750 CCA rated).
Anyway, good to be back and talking to everyone again.
1986 Bertone X1/9, 1500.
Stay safe,
Mike
